janis said...: I love that! Is it for the 1st of December only? Or the 1st of any month? White Rabbits to you too my dear!; 2 December 2009 at 17:16
An English Shepherd said...: The Boss says its for any month.

Acording to Wikipedia the origin of this superstition is unknown.

The Boss had always said this on the 1st of the monthsince a small child. Rabbits are lucky so maybe thats why!

What are English Shepherds ?

English Shepherds are descended from the dogs settlers took with them to North America to work on their farms from England and lowland Scotland. They were bred to be all round farm and family dogs rather than having just one job to do.

They have been recognized as a distinct breed by the UKC in the USA, since the 1930's.

Wizz is one of the dogs from the first litter to be born in England, she was born on the 3rd of November 2008. Wizz's parents Adam & Eve have been brought to the UK from the US by Jackie to reintroduce the breed to this country.
